Christmas time is definitely here.
The past two weeks we have been to Christmas parties, the Nutcracker Suite Ballet, the Museum of Idaho's Christmas Time display, shopping, decorating and baking.
Saturday December 6th started the Christmas activities. In the afternoon we went to a Party at my friend Tiffany's House and then in the evening saw the Nutcracker Suite Ballet. My two nieces Taylor and Eliza are now tacking ballet classes and every year the ballet studio performs with a professional ballet studio from Utah. The last time I remember seeing the Nutcracker was in grade school and it was only half of the performance. It was fun to go see the whole show and the girls did great.
On Sunday the 7th, I took down all the Thanksgiving decorations and started putting up the Christmas decorations. Take a look at some of the changes:

This year we decided to decorate our tree a little different, we decided to do more of a theme tree. Mike found LED Snowflake lights that were white and blue. After we put the lights on we decided that the tree did not need much else, so we just put on some blue and clear bulbs, frosted icicles, and few other decorations. Here is the best picture that I got with the lights on:
Last weekend was candy making. Mike and I decided together what treats to make. There is always the traditional treats of peanut butter balls and triple peanut butter bars, but the rest
changes. Here is two days worth of work:
Top: Brownie fingers and Chocolate toffee truffles
Bottom: Fudge, Peanut butter balls (107 balls), Scotcharoos, Triple Peanut butter bars
Last Friday we went to the Museum of Idaho. They are having a free Christmas exhibit, displayed are Santa Clause's, Gingerbread houses and Nativities. It was neat to see how talented some people are with decorating the gingerbread houses. My favorite nativity was from Africa. If you are in Idaho Falls it is a nice thing to go see. We went with Krystal and Tallene's family and the kids enjoyed it as well. The exhibit goes until January 7th.
I hope everyone is enjoying their Holiday's and that you have a very Merry Christmas!
